Original transom has two layers. Whoever rebuilt the transom in the 18 Fisherman i have used three layers of plywood. The transom is rock solid.
CTerrebonne why not use one piece stringers that extend out the transom and build a bracket off them? That is what i am trying to figure out how to do now. Then you have no load on the transom unless you want it to be loaded. I plan on one layer of 3/4 ply in my transom. Just an idea,.
On a side note, one of the major bracket manufacturers says in their online installation instructions, if the transom has soft spots or rot to add one piece of 3/4 ply to the inside of the transom.
